SMILE (a HomeTown fanfiction)

Goodbyes are hard

I woke up with a headache and this sick feeling in my stomach. Brendan snored lightly to himself I leaned over him and kissed the top of his head lightly earning a few groans from him, his eyes lightly fluttered open.
"Morning Murray"
"Morning Healy"
"How's the head"
"Like there's a mini party going on, yourself"
"Hugh and I've this sick feeling in my stomach"
That second I got up and ran to the bathroom and started throwing up in the toilet Brendan rushed to my side pulled my  hair out of my face and rubbed circles on my back
"Sssshhh your okay I'm here I've got you" Brendan calmed
That second I knew something was wrong and I didn't know what.

Throughout the whole day me and Brendan just cuddled in bed watching Netflix, me mainly asking for him to watch pretty little liars with me so I could finally catch up on season 5 and 6, but he denied saying that we should watch it from the start together so in the end we just watched Orange is the new black. 10 minutes later Brendan got a call from Liam saying that he would have to leave for the airport tomorrow at 6:30am to head to the UK to finish some promo stuff which would take 3 months . When Brendan told me he had to leave tomorrow for 3 months I could see the tears in his eyes trying to blink back every single one. We cherished this moment together just being in each other's arms for one of the few times before he leaves again. He did ask if I wanted to come with but I couldn't I couldn't leave Ayesha and Emily behind but I didn't want to leave my boyfriend but I didn't want to leave my family either. It was a hard time for us my granny has recently been rushed to hospital she couldn't breath she wouldn't eat she wouldn't take her meds she was sick and I knew it but my parents never wanted to tell me they never wanted me to be upset because of the very close connection I had with her.(true story about my granny). Me and Brendan already fully trust each other in everything so this time it should be easy plus he's only an hour two hours away unlike the time he went to South Africa he was further away but not for as long as tip his time.

The next day Brendan was all packed with his things packed in my car I decided I was going to drive him to the airport instead of Dean picking him up as I wanted to say goodbye right before he bordered the plane. It wasn't a silent trip at all we had Brendan's phone charging and we had a cd that Brendan made me of all our favourite songs on it including a few sneak peeks off the new album . See you again was currently playing and Brendan turned to me and started singing softly changing a few lyrics
"It will be some long days with my girlfriend
but I'll tell her all about them when
I see her again
We've come a long way from where we've begin
Oh I'll tell you all about it when
I see you again"
I loved when Brendan changed the lyrics of songs. It made it feel more like it's coming from him rather than just coping the lyrics it's more original in a way. Brendan took out his phone and logged into the hometown snapchat, love me like you do started playing so Brendan starting miming to the lyrics whilst filming for snapchat while also singing to me. He's such a sweet boyfriend sometimes I feel like I don't deserve him.

We finally arrived at the airport, unloaded Brendan's bag and checked in we got to his terminal and saw loads of the fans there waiting all the lads hadn't arrived yet so Brendan got an early start by taking photos and chatting with the fans. I felt to strong arms wrap around my stomach and I knew it wasn't Brendan as he was in front of me doing a vm (video message) for one of the fans. I turn around and see Dayl hugging me
"I'm gonna miss you" Dayl spoke
"Aww Cronin I'll miss yah too mate look after Bren for me will yah"
"Coarse I will" he smiled
Next was Josh
"So this is where I say goodbye to the one who stuck up for me after so many years the one who put a smile on my face the one and only yoshie" I said as I hugged the living day lights out of him
"I guess it is but only for a few months will be reunited soon, I'll call you everyday or text to make sure your okay, your my loulou and I'm your yoshie"
"Your my batman I'm your robin"
"My partner in crime and Fifa"
"I'll miss you yoshie"
"I'll miss you too loulou "
Next was Cian
"Cici I'll miss you"
"I'll miss you too Healy"
"Make sure to keep up with the Late Night Antics they always cheer me up and make me laugh"
"Coarse we will, there fun to do"
Then there was Ryan
"I'll miss you RyRy"
"Ill miss you too Lou"
"I already told Dayl this but please look after the boys and Brendan I don't know what I'd do without you's"
"I will Lou make sure to call and text"
"Coarse"
Then there's Dean
"Please look after yourselfs Brendan and Josh especially you know what them to are like"
"Coarse I will I'll look after the boys especially the chuckles God knows what they'd get into"
"Ill miss you Gibbo I'll call and text to make sure your still right in the head"
"Hahah I'll miss you too Healy, better do God knows how long until Cayl and the Chuckles make us all go crazy"
I let go of Dean and felt two arms pick me up and a pair of lips kiss me gently
"I'm gonna miss you so so so much I'll call and text and always send you selfies of me so you don't forget me " Brendan spoke
"How could I forget the best boyfriend there ever will be"
The lads flight got called saying that boarding will now take place
"I love you" Brendan said kissing me hugging me tight and then kissing me one last time
"I love you too" I spoke just as we pulled away and I watched as the boy who months ago I had a huge crush on , who I watching on the late late show, who I meet at Burger King, who I spent a day shopping with ,who I now call my boyfriend walk away . Next time I'll get to hug and kiss him will be in three months. Three months seems like s long time but it will go quick hopefully.
